That is great to hear that 19 Hillsborough Terrace is still as it was, Mike. We used to live in 21 Which was very similar, weatherboard and arched windows on either side of the fireplace. My parents bought the house at 21 for 13,500$ in the late 60s.
Almost a year after I had just started walking so about 1972 - I remember dad having a mug of something with the nice big man called Norm next door on what I remember as Christmas Day morning, at the 60's umbrella, table and camping chair set in the driveway. That is how approachable and down to earth Norm was.

When my mum sold the house in the 90s, she could have got 20,000$ more for it but she didn't want to sell to a developer, and risk having it dozed. We occasionally drive by there to see that 21 is still earthquake solid etc and the present owners and neighbours have improved it's loveliness. We are grateful Norm's legacy and character are maintained in that area.

I remember that after Norman Kirk lived at 19, the Greenings moved in, who were lovely and kind - grandmotherly. And I think the family that invented Macpac bought the house after them. Then it would have been about 1985 when I lost track of the owners at number 19.
